Warwick, R.I. – August 19, 2024 – The Rhode Island Association of Realtors recently released home sales data that showed the median price of single-family homes once again broke records in July, topping out at $495,000, a 12.5% gain from 12 months earlier. The number of listings on the market also rose from last year, rising 16.2%, helping to spark a 21.2% increase in sales activity. Pending sales, a leading indicator of future sales activity, stabilized after 30 consecutive months of decline.

August 2, 2024 – The median price of single-family homes sold in the second quarter rose to $470,130, a 9.3% increase from a year earlier. Sales activity fell by roughly the same percentage, dropping 8.7% year-over-year.  Stiff competition caused by pent-up demand shortened the average time homes stayed on the market before going under contract to just four weeks.
